To improve security, IT security requirements for industrial communication standards and development processes must now be carefully considered to make sure that they are protected, today and tomorrow. For any company in industrial communication in the future, security will be a requirement – not an option.

Threat Modeling is an important activity for the security of any system involving protected resources and communication interfaces. This article provides an overview of some of the Threat Modeling done for the CIP Security protocol within Volume 8 of the CIP Specification, as well as other additional technologies.

High-profile cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure has underlined the need for industrial organizations to prioritize cybersecurity. This article discusses the challenges industrial operators face and solutions that enhance cybersecurity with minimal effort.

Industrial industries and the people, communities, and entities they serve are facing greater risks from cyberattacks. Administrators and engineers who service industrial networks must be diligent in providing security measures to safeguard against attacks.

Ensuring that a data communications network is secure is a never-ending task, with new vulnerabilities being exposed every day. Methods to prevent unauthorised access and protect against a cybersecurity attack vary between industries. However, being proactive enables network administrators to prevent security breaches and be prepared if any incident does…

Convergence of OT and IT systems is placing higher demands on network reliability and performance. As cybersecurity threats challenging these systems become more sophisticated and impacting, industrial network owners are looking to integrated solutions to ensure both holistic security and business continuity.

Rather than fear the potential threat that come with IIoT projects, building security into the overall IoT architecture, and solving interoperability challenges will enable organisations to successful get their projects off the ground and take advantage of the innovative operational efficiencies they enable.

Special report in the Industrial Ethernet Book explores how manufacturing companies are leveraging new technology to protect machinery, networks and corporate data. Industry experts weigh in on the latest new technologies and applications.

Eurotech is collaborating with Infineon Technologies, Microsoft and GlobalSign to develop a ’chain of trust’ security solution for IoT device identities. The companies are working together to deliver zero touch provisioning for IoT applications, and to simplify large scale, secure roll outs of connected devices.

Technology solutions are providing companies ways to eliminate network vulnerabilities and strengthen security, bridging the gap between OT and IT and sparking widespread interest in industry. Although the focus is often on external attacks, internal threats can be just as damaging to industrial networks.
